I'm not talking about 10.9.1.  I don't recall the wording of the buttons 
in Software Update, but when I've declined other updates, I understood I 
was saying "not now."  The next time Software Update checked, they would 
be offered again.

When I declined 10.9.0, I assumed it would be offered a week later, when 
Software Update checked again and I'd had time to think it over.  It 
wasn't.  My point was that Software Update didn't treat Mavericks like 
other updates.
